...while it's commendable that Hitchens takes on all religions, as far as their belief systems..it's not so great that he only focuses on the actions taken as a result of those beliefs...to hear him describe Islam you'd think the last 200 years were filled with world-wide global wars brought on by Muslim nations either fighting among themselves or attacking Christians...you'd think the Inquisition was Islamic....the Crusades a one-sided attack by Muslim armies on London....that the Vietnam wars was fought by Muslim nations against rice farmers.....

Hitchens is critical of the nonsense in all religions, it's true...but he only really condemns and scares us about Islam and what Islam MIGHT do, completely ignoring, or glorifying and rationalizing, what Christians nations have done and are still doing.

It's as if by slamming all religions for doctrinal silliness, he buys immunity to attack only one, as a practical threat to world peace...which is unfair and untrue.
